Articles about Bal Dani
Profile:
Few Indian cricketers have had a better all round record in domestic
cricket than `Bal' Dani. At the end of a career that spanned more than
two decades, Dani finished with figures of 6459 runs (44.54),
including 17 centuries and 198 wickets (21.97). In the Ranji Trophy
he was simply superb with a tally of 4757 runs (48.05) with 15
hundreds and 145 wickets (19.10) from 78 matches. A sound right hand
middle order batsman and a right arm medium pace bowler who could also
bowl off and leg breaks, Dani was a tower of strength to the Services
team in the national competition for several years with his all round
skills, besides being a shrewd captain.
Unfortunately Dani's multitalented skills were not rewarded suitably
when it came to selection to the Indian team. He played only one Test,
took one wicket (that of Nazar Mohammed for a duck), latched on to a
brilliant catch to dismiss Kardar but did not get to bat. He toured
Pakistan in 1954-55 without playing a Test. Later he became a member
of the National selection committee. (Partab Ramchand)
